Best Mowing ExcuseExcuse Me! I Love To Mow!

i want a new lawn mower......................?

hello, i have a craftsman lawn mower and it runs ok,but does not have really enough power to mow my lawn and the bag is torn apart it spits out all the grass, its also is 6 years old, anyway i want a new mower and i am 14 years old this is the one that i want it has mow power and electric start and its self propeled so my question is how do i persuade my parents to let me get it, i will pay for it with my money, also i mow my, my grandma's, and my uncles lawn

First, I am truly proud of you. You seem to be a careing young man. And your parents should also be proud of you. You are wanting to do a job, and on doing it the right way. You are also trying to save yourself time and energy too. By wanting equipment that will be safe, and work correctly.
Now one thing. If you have the money on hand now, and take this proposition to your parents that you are willing to pay for the entire mower on your own. That would be great, and if they let you, that also would be nice. But.. if they hesitate, listen to them, see if they have other reasons. ok. Always see both sides.
You stated it was getting hard to mow, because of the power. When you first got the mower did it cut real good, but over the years it got harder. The blade needs to be sharpened. This should be done at least every 4-6 months, depending on use. If the engine is not smoking, you still have a nice mower. At least once a year a tuneup. You also can purchase a new leaf bag from your nearest lawnmower service person.
Now another thing you can do, especially if they say the mower is still in good working condition. Tell them you would like to sell the mower to your lawn mower service person, to apply the amount you get for it, to go toward the cost of a nicer, and newer model, that both you dad and mom can both use, with the ease of mowing. But that you would rather do the lawn mowing for them, and your relitives, because that is the kind of son they raised.
